Let the Rioting Begin!

Big ups to those kooky Phillies from Philadelphia. They broke a twenty-eight year drought from their last WS, erasing the drunken shadow of Mitch Williams and his tiny, yet concentratedly solid, balls.

Although I'm a happy duck for these guys, who have arguably three of the best five players in the National League, all this can't help but bring up my pesky little CONSPIRACY THEORY! Let's take a gander at the last five WS winners, with their previous titles in parenthesis:

2008 - Philadelphia Phillies (1980)
2007 - Boston Red Sox (2004)
2006 - St. Louis Cardinals (1982)
2005 - Chicago White Sox (1917)
2004 - Boston Red Sox (1918)

Aside from goofy McPants Red Sox in '07, all of those titles ended some serious droughts. Was/is this an attempt by MLB to reignite stagnating fan bases, and also to attract band wagon fans to further amplify their merchandise sale.

Is it really so goofy to entertain that notion? This is the same sports league that, in full knowledge of steroid abuse, let its surliest, most obvious abuser and dickbag break its most prestigious record, and then when he completed his task had him blackballed. Is that so farfetched? Is it? IS IT?!




Hahaha, no seriously, it's not a conspiracy. It's just encouraging to think that if these teams can turn it around and win it all, then maybe the Tigers will capture a WS in the near future, too. Haha, conspiracy. Ridiculous. And good luck signing Cole Hamels to a sensible deal in a year or two, Phils. Bwhahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!


....but I really do believe the Barry Bonds stuff. That's just blatantly obvious.
